Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare Breading Stations

    In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and crushed cornflakes.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each seasoned chicken thigh first into the beaten eggs, then into the panko/cornflake mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Making the Peanut Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and water. Stir well over medium heat until smooth.

  2. 6

    Adjust Consistency

    Add red pepper flakes and additional water if necessary to reach desired sauce consistency. Set aside.

Preparing the Slaw

  1. 7

    Mix Slaw Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, julienned apple, pear, and shredded carrot.

  2. 8

    Make Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 9

    Combine Slaw and Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss until well combined. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 10

    Prepare Buns and Fries

    Toast the potato buns lightly if desired, and prepare fries according to package instructions.

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place a fried chicken thigh on the bottom half of each bun. Drizzle with peanut sauce and top with a generous amount of slaw.

  3. 12
